"state capitalism" ???? Where are you getting this macro-econ terminology from? I'm talking about a shitty Friends of Court org who messed up this man's paperwork and landed him in jail, zoom in brother this shit doesn't require theory

And yet, like most professions of neutrality, you're still tacitly supporting him by linking to him in the first place! His business model is engagement, what do you think this is?

Sorry, you've confused me for somebody who gives a shit about the whole "ethics in online consumption" discourse, I DON'T CARE, he's already a millionaire and watched by millions, might as well whine about people linking the New York Times

Ironically enough, the site usually does encourage people to link to NYT with an archived version or something for exactly that reason.

In this case, would it be an adequate equivalent to use an Invidious or Piped instance to link to the video for discussion while minimizing engagement for the creator to profit from, or should the video be downloaded and uploaded to perhaps a PeerTube instance to further disconnect from the original source? Or is there no value in discussing topics such as this, especially if the topic being discussed is viewed through the lens of liberal content mills and/or cause harm to the defamed victims?

I don't know enough on the topic to distinguish mirrors, but I am pretty sure as concerns the instance rules all of those are fine. In my personal opinion, the answer to your last question is "Yes," but I also realize that arguing such a thing to someone whose attitude is oriented around personal entitlement (such as OP) is a waste of everyone's time. Something something Combat Liberalism.
